FX-8350 Oveclock

[TitaniumMicros]

So will I be able to pull off 4.5-4.7 GHz an 8350 with a 212 evo? Also, can I overclock with an ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 mb?

[Morgan MLGman]

No unless you want to burn your house down. Maybe a 4,4ghz would be possible, MAYBE.

The cooler is enough even up to 4,4/4,5 with a reasonable voltage but the motherboard is shit and can't handle 8350, I wouldn't be suprised if it throttled @stock.

Dont overclock that high on this mobo

[Altecice]

its a lottery as to how high your CPU will OC.

But that mobo is not designed for OCing at all. it has no VRM cooling at all and will run very hot.

[Majestic]

Don't even put a 8350 on that unless you have a topdown cooler. It's even specified on the website.

If you're buying a new system, don't even buy an am3+ to begin with.

 

"* For cooling the CPU and its surrounding components, please install a CPU cooler with a top-down blowing design."

[PlayStation 2]

I'm guessing you already have the 8350.

Nah, a Hyper 212 EVO can't maintain that kind of heat. Neither can that motherboard.

[FuriousGamer]

If you want to overclock that much get a better motherboard and a water cooler. Dont attempt to even overclock at all with that motherboard if you wanna risk your house burning down.

Nah he doesn't need a watercooler, these chips aren't THAT hot. I can get my 8350 to 4.8 on a 38$ twin-tower 2x120mm fan air cooler I own. I just don't want to.

For 4.5-4.7 as he desires a decent aircooler is more than fine

Yes but its also a risk not having a water cooler when overclocking .5ghz more than its normal.

Again, it depends on many factors, but unless he wants 4.9 or 5.0 there's still no need for a watercooler ^^

As I mentioned, my 8350 @4,5 doesn't exceed 50degrees Celsius after 1 hour of Aida64 with a 38$ aircooler and while he might not be able to get as low voltage I did, there's still 20 degrees left to the limit.

Dude thats 1 hour lol. Try a 6-8 hour test then comeback and tell me.

No, it does not change at all, it basically never exceeds 50degrees. I once run it for 7 hours cause i forgot it was running and max temp was 52 with 47 average ;-;

Well congrats you have a cool stable pc. Not everyone can accomplish that. As I suggested its better to get a water cooler just in case anything goes wrong. You really shouldn't argue that you don't need one when your overclocking cause in most cases when people don't have water cooling something bad happens. Better to be safe than sorry.

[harrynowl]

EVO would be ok if you don't need to throw over 1.425v through it but that board will probably explode.

Seriously? You know that more people use aircoolers than watercoolers and they OC just fine? Why are you saying that stuff... I once OC'd my old Athlon X4 750k to 4,5ghz stable with a stock cooler from 3.4ghz stock and ran it for half of a year without issues

Note: the CPU still works up until today in my buddys pc.

What cooler did you use to oc the Athlon x4.

[Morgan MLGman]

What cooler did you use to oc the Athlon x4.

The stock, shittiest one. It's not even the one that comes with the FX chips, it's a shittier, smaller one. It was loud AS FUCK but I didn't care cause I use Logitech G35 headset ^^

Note: I have a big, full tower case with good airflow and had a GTX 660 at the time.

Your obviously lying lol you cant overclock it that much with a stock cooler. It would explode or catch fire.

Hahaha, that's cute that you think that, my two flatmates (also pc geeks) were stunned by how it's possible but it is ^^ The PC could be heard from my room in the kitchen which is around 10-12 meters away

It just isn't possible at all. You would need a better cooler.

You are putting misinformation out there...

First of all, not everyone has the same ambient temperature, nor the same humidity. So for someone that is in let's say Brazil, it might be a lot harder to OC that someone in Canada.

 

There are lot of REALLY good coolers out there. Even older dual tower coolers can be compared to many 240mm AIOs regarding temperatures, and even 280mm AIOs can be put against the higher end air coolers like the NH-D15. So saying you 'need' a water cooling unit to OC is a very wrong concept.

 

CPUs vary, not only in the required amount of voltage per increased clockspeed, but also in how they manage the energy they are using. Better chips can run at much lower temperatures, even if they are at the same clocks as another CPU. A perfect example is Intel Xeon CPUs, which while they can have the same amount of cores and speeds as consumer CPUs, they still run lower (Linus showed this on his Xeon videos). Xeons are binned, but that doesn't mean a regular CPU can't be from a good batch.

Even stock coolers can be used in a OC'd CPU, as long as temperatures are fine, you don't need to worry. There are a lot of folks running Pentium G3258 and Athlon X4 CPUs that are getting into 4.5+ GHz still with the Stock cooler. How? well, just crank that fan up and have proper airflow! Many people out there don't care at all about the noise their systems make, so they crank up the clockspeeds and turn the cooler at full blast!.

I have experiences with the 8350, and it's not a massively hot CPU, it's on the toasty side, but I was able to get it to 4.5GHz with a Scythe Mugen 4 without issues. I could even go a little bit higher, but with summer coming I preferred to leave it that way.

[Morgan MLGman]

It just isn't possible at all. You would need a better cooler. 

And tell me exactly the reason why would I be lying? Read what the guy above me said. Do not spread false information next time please
